The dash board is melting showing bubbling (ie:popcorn like boils) over entire dash board. i am not the original owner, however, several reports of this same concern as a recall issue.
The dashboard is melting,its all gooey. its melted so bad i cant even replace the radio.also the actuators randomly work and their are multiple complaints online but no recalls have ever been made.
Door actuators work intermittent sometimes they don't work at all .some days one door works the others don't .could be a safety issue with child on board.
While living in maryland i purchased a used 2004 fx35. everything seemed fine until we experienced warm weather, the dashboard is sticky. you can leave finger impressions and pieces of it will come off on your hand when you try to clean it. now i live in florida and the melting has gotten worst. the entire dashboard is sticky and the glare when driving has gotten worst. at times you can not see objects or people walking in a crosswalk. its very dangerous.
Since two years my dashboard started foaming with air bubbles,at the beginning it was small few air bubbles but now it is spreading all over the dashboard. i have never seen this kind of defect. i don't even know whether it is healthy to drive this kind of car. contacted infinity and bbb with negative response. the response was since it is over 8 years they will not replace it. if it is acknowledged that it is a defect why the company gets away with such an answer. in addition to this defect my four door locks are not working especially in hot climate.complained about it to the dealer they wanted a $2000 charge. i am not complaining about wear and tear , it is about defect. all i was asking them was to stand by their product. i drove toyota camry for 13 years ,never saw this kind of defect. *tr

Bubbling/sticky dashboard/melting dashboard
I have a major problem with my rear hatch actuator lock. unable to open the door from the outside. the dealer told me once one goes they all go. it appears this is a big problem with the 2004 model and they should do a recall on this lock. the price they want to charge to fix it is outrageous. i have found the parts and labor prices cheaper on line. please make them recall these locks for safety reasons and help out their customers.
My dashboard has melted and is very sticky. i have contacted swell infinity but have not gotten a response. i really can't drive it during the day because of the glare! thank you for your assistance in this matter. god bless
Dt*: the contact stated the mud flaps on all four tires cause snow and ice to build up between the wheel wells and the tires. due to the icy build up the steering is difficult to control. the dealership determined the build up occurs on all vehicles with that type of mud flaps.
